It has taken me a week to gather my thoughts on this and what to write. It all happened so quickly it was hard to fathom it. Suddenly he was there, then he wasn't. Irrfan was known to me from The Lunchbox (2013) and Piku (2015) the latter being one of my favourite movies ever. … Continue reading Irrfan Khan: A Memoriam
Rishi Kapoor: A Memoriam
It has taken me a week to find my thoughts with all this, especially with Irrfan Khan's death (he will get a write-up like this as well) the previous day these two hit me hard. It is just so sad to lose people so close in succession, I know I never knew both of them … Continue reading Rishi Kapoor: A Memoriam
Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela (2013) – High Energy and Brightly Coloured Shakespeare in Bhansali’s Gujarat
Shakespeare's birthday month was coming to a close, and I finally settled into this movie to review for it. So, even if I missed The Bard's birthday, he is still getting an adaption review/analysis of one of his most popular works.

Antardwand (2010) – The Patriarchy Bites Its Own Back
This is all Art House and Social Issues filled movie that is very well done. I was surprised I liked it so much but seeing all the wreaths on the poster of all the film festivals it had been in it's no surprise.

He does menial … Continue reading Karthik Calling Karthik (2010) – The Psychology of Isolation with Mental Illness

Emma. (2020) – A Feast For The Eyes and Romantic Heart
I am so glad this movie is for rent now considering the circumstances. It would have been grand to see this on the big screen, but it works as good as on the TV screen. Prepare for a long review/deep analysis of this movie, because I find I have a lot to say about it. … Continue reading Emma. (2020) – A Feast For The Eyes and Romantic Heart
Street Dancer 3D (2020) – Watch For Dancing, A Goodhearted Subplot, But Not For Much Else
3D is just an implication that it would be in 3D in certain cinemas, thankfully, not a part of any franchise, at least officially. There is a dance centred line of movies called ABCD (or AnyBody Can Dance). I haven't seen them yet. This movie is really is just a harmless "non-brain" activity of a movie … Continue reading Street Dancer 3D (2020) – Watch For Dancing, A Goodhearted Subplot, But Not For Much Else

This is such a gorgeous movie! I mean, the cinematography is just gorgeous! And that is to say nothing about the music which encompasses the whole!
